Edwards Amusement Depot contains some small dwellings (the white buildings in the background), but mainly the space is used to store mobile catering vans and the like. Particularly interesting are the old caravans near the entrance.

Discussion on SU1585

Just visible on this historic image is the capital letter 'N'. This was the first word of a piece of graffiti that read in full 'No Nazi Army'. I can remember seeing it. From memory, the graffiti dates to the early 1950s when German tank units were in Wales for training purposes. Given that hostilities between Britain and Germany had ended less than a decade before, it is perhaps not surprising that the presence of previously enemy forces on British soil provoked such a response. I know not who wrote the graffiti but I suspect it was a local Communist famed for his extra-legal activities and who is commemorated in this building SU1184 : The Link. You will have to visit it to find out the identity of the suspect.
